Another of the accountability questions Sarah and I ask is "What significant thing did you do for your boyfriend?" (or in her case we change it to fiancé...Congrats, Sarah! :D). It's about being intentional in our relationships.
So, what did I do since Sarah and I last met? I made comments to let him know that I was paying attention. Sometimes it seems like something so insignificant it's not worth mentioning, but it was intentional on my part.
- Allowing the family with the squirming toddler to go in front of us in line.
- Holding the door for the elderly couple.
- Returning the glove dropped by a child.
He doesn't think about these things, he just does them. I even asked him "What's one thing you did for someone else this week?" He thought about it for a while and then made a joke. He's gotten so used to doing it that he doesn't even think about it anymore. Can you imagine what the world would be like if each of us made it a point to help out others even in the little stuff?
This week I intentionally pointed out this behavior when we were together. I wanted him to know that people do notice the little things and they can make a huge difference in a person's day.u
